Music Review: Acres and Acres - Truth & Sky
CBC's Bob Mersereau
Fri, Dec 14, 2012.
Halifax's Acres and Acres present a second disc of laid back and lush chamber-folk, and a little chamber-country for your pleasure. The main men here are songwriters David Scholten and Kris Pope, the latter originally from Belleisle Creek, NB, while regular bass man Ian Sherwood is from nearby Norton. Half the eight songs here have a rich string section added in to dreamscape melodies, while the remaining numbers get more of a groove on. bolstered by pedal steel and some front-porch acoustic charm. And Pope's steel even finds its way into the string quartet numbers, another layer of mood..Read more here http://www.cbc.ca/nb/mt/east-coast-music/2012/12/music-review-acres-and-acres---truth-sky.html

Owen Steel:
"Owen's songs bring life to the singer songwriter genre, which is starting once again to recycle itself. My dad told me years ago, since there's nothing new under the sun, an artist has to find a brand new way of saying the same old thing; Owen has succeeded." - Guy Davis

The Sanctuary Theatre:
A gem in the heart of Uptown Saint John. The Sanctuary Theatre sits nestled among the brownstones and historic churches of Canada's Original City. A former church, now owned by the region's largest Performing Arts School, the Sanctuary is what Saint John wants and needs: a small, intimate venue for live music concerts, theatre, dance, community gatherings, and more.
